Had a strange feeling he didnt want to be a part of the 3-4 alignment...this must be intrepreted as acting out against it. Not too cool IMO when your making that much money. I thought Blache was the issue, now that excuse has run dry...I'll wait and see, but if he is a continueing issue, WITH THIS MUCH MONEY AT STAKE we need to explore maybe other avenues...

i didnt expect AH to show up for all the voluntary workouts, being a team leader or really committing himself 100% despite his "i want to be one of the greats" talk at his press conf after we signed him.

that contract of his cuts both ways. the skins have flexibility in a few years to get out of it relatively easily but that was made possible by the skins giving him that 22.1 million dollar signing bonus due in 2010.

while im going to take this for what it is, i cant help but wonder what he is going to do (or not do) after that 22 million check clears. honestly, what makes most financial sense for him is to collect the 22 million then demand a trade or release so that he can sign a new contract. i do think AH has zero loyalties to us.

in 2011 or 2012, when that 22 mil is spent, is he going to be happy making 5 mil a year for the next 3-4 years?

so far he is exactly what we were told he would be, for better and worse.

I hope no one is surprised. This guys has always been a bad apple. He's not a leader, never has been. When a coach like Shanahan is openly asking for good attendance and our highest paid player blows him off... well, it reaffirms what we've always known about him.
